Replication Package for "WIP: Block-Based Programming Increases Student's Success Rate in Solving Assembly Programming Tasks"

Blocksembler Replication Package This repository contains the replication package for the empirical studies conducted with Blocksembler, a block-based programming environment for teaching assembly programming. The package provides all materials required to reproduce the instructional sessions and competition setup, including exercise sheets, presentation materials, and competition tasks. The source code itself is not included in this repository but is published separately in its own Zenodo dataset.

Each exercise is provided as a Markdown file following the naming convention:exercise[nr]_[en|de].mdwhere [nr] represents the exercise number and [en|de] specifies the language of the exercise description (e.g., exercise1_en.md). exercises/warmup/ Contains warm-up exercises used to familiarize participants with the environment before the competition. Files follow the naming convention:warmup[nr]_[tbp|bbp]_[en|de].mdwhere [nr] represents the warm-up exercise number. [tbp|bbp] referes to the condition (text-based programming or block-based programming), and [en|de] specifies the language of the exercise description (e.g., warmup1_tbp_en.md). presentation_introductory_briefing.pdf Contains the presentation slides used for the introductory briefing before the competition.
